Sitting there at home, he arrived home lateWith no more blood cells to inebriateHe lunged at her there, she fell from the couchHe grabbed her body as he pulled her downShe was screaming no, kicking out at himBut he weighed a ton, she could never winHe fell down on her like a sack of snakesTears fell from her face as she cried and criedWhen there's hope, when there's fearWhat is there to say that he might hearYou turn him down with no mistakeNow you're leaving, the great escape

She ran from the room out of their back doorLeaving him to sleep on the front room floorAnd she walked that night to the town hall squareShe knew it was through and she didn't careShe stood up to him, he looked down on herHe shot the message and the messengerWhen he woke he was sick with all the shameTears fell from his face as she cried and cried

She arrived back home, he was on his kneesBegging with his heart please come back to me
